I have always loved jewelery, guess I got that from my Mom.
As a young girl it seems like I used to spend hours in the craft shops. Back them it was difficult to find all the bits that are so readily available now.
In my ’spare’ time I like to distract myself with other forms of creativity so I have been making a few items that I think will compliment the handbag organizers.
The first thing I have made are keyring charms. What do you think?
I will be adding them to the website tomorrow but for now here is a preview.
Look out for the others tomorrow on Baggitz.com

Well the time has come for me to go solo. I have had my website handed over to me to start adding to it as I desire. The site is flexible for me to be able to add to it as and when.
It will be a steep learning curve. Guess we really learn the most from experience rather than theory.
Soon it will all become second nature and I will wonder what all the fuss was about.
While waiting for the Baggitz website to be finished off I have decided to start my blog as this has been ready for a few days now.
This whole experience of creating my web site or should I say having my site created for me, selling the handbag organizers on Ebay plus the buzz that I am getting each time I sell another organizer brings back my childhood memory where this whole making and selling process began.
As a little girl I would make ‘Kool-Aid’ and set up stall at the bottom of the driveway selling a cup full to anyone willing to pay. I think in reality I probably drank more than I sold.
Then I progressed on to bigger things. I tried my hand at different crafts but at about the age of 10 or so I remember creating woven potholders with cotton jersey waste on a 6 inch square loom. I would carefully select the different colour combinations and select the best cotton loops and make up these squares in lovely plaids. What to do with all that I had made? I decided to go door to door and sell them for 25 cents each (it was a long time ago). The more I sold the more I wanted to make.
There is definitely an excitement each time I sell something I have created and each sale I wonder about that person and how I have become a part of their life.
The Internet gives me the opportunity to set up my stall for the world to experience my products and me.
I look forward to the future and sharing my creations and experiences with you.
